Susan Janette Ramey died July 22, 2021 at Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice. Susan was born on August 1, 1954 in Kansas City, Missouri to Wm. Kenneth and Betty Jean Ramey. Her family moved to Sheboygan in 1965.
Susan graduated from Sheboygan North High in 1972. She attended UW La Crosse and UW Green Bay, Rudolph Steiner College in Sacramento, California and UW Madison. Susan taught at the Haleakala Waldorf School on Maui for 20 years. She worked as an occupational therapist in Vermont and Wisconsin.
Susan’s zest for adventure took her on a bicycle trip from Sheboygan to Bellingham Washington. She camped every night and phoned home on Sunday evenings. Susan’s adventures included living in a yurt in Ranchos de Taos, exploring magical places and National Parks throughout the Southwest and learning to play the ukulele and dance the hula while living in Hawaii. Susan loved being in the moment from swimming with sea turtles, to riding camels in Egypt, to hiking and camping wherever her spirit took her. Bird watching was one of her favorite past times.
Susan was an involved and caring friend to so many. She will be truly missed by the countless people that she embraced during her lifetime. Susan loved our planet Earth and tried her hardest to protect it. She will be missed for her sparkling good nature, enthusiasm and warmth, her capacity for depth in understanding, her wide range of interests, her adventurous spirit and most particularly her generosity of heart.
She is survived by her sisters, MaryKay (Clayton) Schmidt of Sheboygan Falls and Barbara (Ian) Sangster of Bonner Springs, KS; nephew, Ryan (Stacia) Schmidt; nieces, Amy (Korey) Miller, Jamie (Phuc) Trieu and Helen Sangster.
Memorial donations may be given in Susan’s name to Maywood Park or Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice.
A celebration of life will be held in the near future.
